I experienced a bloody discharge and my doctor sent me to a breast surgeon who recommended a biopsy (what else would a surgeon recommend?)<br /><br />I got to my car after the surgeon's exam and just sat there, shaking. I had a dear friend in the end stages of a seven year battle with breast cancer. I remember saying aloud "God, I'm so scared." I have a 6 CD cassette in that car that was set to random song play, so when I finally stopped shaking enough to turn the ignition on, the music started. The very first words I heard? "Fear destroys," lyrics from a Yes CD that was in there. I couldn't believe what I heard and played the song over several times to make sure. I have learned over my lifetime that there are no coincidences. I knew I had to take the message of those lyrics to heart and battle the fear before I could battle anything else.<br /><br />Thank God my biopsy was negative - the problem was a papilloma, which the surgeon removed. The biopsy was the Monday before Thanksgiving; I got the results on Wednesday. My dear friend passed away the following January 2nd.<br /><br />Thank you Mimi for reminding us to keep up with our exams and for reminding me of the time I learned "fear destroys."Sunflower Optimismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797860099404871043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-17047382746436396702006-12-07T08:21:00.000-05:002006-12-07T08:21:00.000-05:00Mimi, I've been away from my computer for a few da...Mimi, I've been away from my computer for a few days so I'd thought have a look in on some of my favourite bloggers.
